OFFENSIVE Will be War Plans of The U.S. DELAY IS DEPRECATED Will Spain Try to Cause Fur ther Procrastination. Washington, Ap.il. 20. —W» are fearfully near war. A weel ago it was a prediction. To day it L virtually a reality. All partiesand all factions of parties accept it r.s a foregone conclu sion. This week offers two pot sibiiities! 1. Spain may become frightened at the terrible eainestress of our war pnparation and ag»in reced. thus causing further procrastina tion on our part. 2. The s'ate of feeling among luvv men. on both sides, is so in tense that some hostile act seem imminent every hour, and wai may he prec pitated befoie Con gres shall have formality declared it. THE PEACE PARTY. It is the last of these two pos sibilities that gives most concern to the peace party. Bets are freeh made that we will be acually en engaged in battles befoie nex Monday mcrning, and men hav> been found in very high places who are advocating imtrediatt action. The fighters want to g< at once and blockade Havana and bead off Spain. They say that everybody is now agreed that we are going tc war and they ask why should there be any waiting upoi Spain tor a final word? OFFENSIVE Move, While the Strategic Beard is as mum as an oyster, it is known thai it is figuiing out an offensive rather than a defensive move. It is said Spain wants us to fire th* first shot, and we are very* likely to do so. Captain Sigbee, of the Maine, that be would like very much to accommodate Sjiain. A Difficulty. “Perhaps one of the most diffloult things to accomplish in coaching a foot ball team,” says G. W. Woodruff in the Philadelphia Press, “is to get the cap tain to try for goals from the field on first downs inside the 25 yard line He feels so sure when once he has carried the ball so near the line that his team can carry it across for a touch down that he dislikes exceedingly to risk kicking the bull and thus putting it into the possession of the other side. Wi.en in the heat of the game be seems utterly unable to realize that the sur render is not for more than half a min ute of actual playing time, because the bull cannot be kicked out from behind the 10 yard line much farther than to the 35 or 40 yard line, and there is ev ery probability that the man who catch es it after the kick out will be able to run it buck inside the 25 yard line with the assistance of heavy interference from the other players of his own side, or if the ball is not kicked out farther than the 30 yard line a fair catch can almost surely be made, and the chances of kicking a goal from the field after ■nob a catch are very great."

Its work is equal to that of 200 persons working 12 hours per day ano putting up a package in three minutes The machine, with attendance, does the work cheaper than any human labor on earth, and we may fairly suppose that every cup of coffee is the cheapen for it Water Tax Notice The Water Tax for 'he quarter from April Ist to July Ist 1898 is now due and must be paid on or before the 16 of April The Board of Water Commissioners order all ordinances strictly enforced and when water has been shut off for non payment in addition of pay ing the bill ail parties will be re quire to pay a fee < f fifty cents for turning on.

Mi' Wwßk ■ _ ■ I ■ * The St. Louis Westliche Post j is the leading German daily of lhe Mississippi va.’ley, ami one of the few German newspapers in the United States. Established in 1857, it soon passed into the hands of Dr. Em il Preetorious and the Hon. Chs. Schurz. For 40 years the West liche Post has shown the most effective devotion to honorable and progressive ideas. Edward Preetorious, business manager and treasurer, is a man of distinction throughout the Southwest, and is known to many thousands in other por tions of the country for his broad business methods, and for the commanding influence of his journal in national, state and city politics. Mr. Preetorious is an indefa tigueable worker. Subjected by his profession to unusual busi ness cares, overwork and sud den demands upon his nervous strength, his personal experience and his estimate of Paine’s cel ery compound must have excep tional weight, especially with brain workers, ami men and women whose neives are inces santly called on, as if they were of iron and steel, and not the most sensitive parts of the body.

'The relative merit and effici ency o r Paine's celery compound, in comparison with all other remedies for making people well is clearly shown in the intelli gent character and responsible standing of the p< ople who today rely on it to cure insomnia, ner vous debility, persistant head aches and a rundown condition. Its power of rapidly repairing the tissues and cleansing the bluod m ikes Paine’s celery coni pound the great saver of life that it is. It brings just the needed nutriment to the weak ened nerve tissues all over the body, and increases the volume of healthy blood, so that a breakdown of some vital part is averted. 'l'he story of the discovery and unparallel d success of Paine’s celery compound is the story of a high purpose steadily followed, lie final work of the lifelong study of the nervous system in health and disease by Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL. 1)., of the Dartmouth medi cal faculty. In this greatest of all remedies there is hope for every person 1 distressed by symptoms of dys pepsia, impure blood, failing vigor or low nervous condition. | BAP TIST CONVENTION.
